Brandon Banks

Redskins Locker Room

Man, I hope this guy makes the team. At the very least have him return kicks/punts. 1049 yards in 2008 and 705 in 2009. Sub 4.3 40 time and at 5'7" and 142 lbs he's not afraid to go over the middle. Big things come in small packages, let's hope he turns out to be a big thing.

Seems like a good kid. Spoke with him at TC for a few moments. He's a very small dude. Not just in height, he's slim. The little guys that have made it recently have been thick. I like the kid, but one real solid hit from an NFL 200 lber and he's done. I don't think he makes it, but with his speed the CFL is a real option for him.

Saw him at training camp today, and tracked him a little bit because he was so short. Pretty sure he dropped two passes, and I remember saying to myself, "He's got to be kicking himself for those." They were catchable, and the whole crowd went "aaahh.."

I guess if he has 4.22 speed, perhaps we can overlook one or two drops, but...

Brandon Banks and guys like him make the pre-season interesting. If you know all the side stories and what to look for the 4th quarter of a preseason can be very entertaining.

The casual fan misses out on this.

BTW Hard Knocks tonight on HBO!

I agree with you.

Of course for most of us on this board w all know most of these storis, and even with some of the stories the end of some presason games are very hard to watch! I am very interested to watch our preseason this year though to see how this team is setup for depth. These past few years we all have seen that this team has had no depth and our preseasons have been extremely difficult to watch the 2nd and 3rd stringers to play.

He definitely needs to add some weight and I'm sure he will...hell, once they have him working on his neck he'll easily add another 10lbs...if Sproles at 5'6" and 180 lbs can take a hit he'll be able to as well.

Dude that kick return against Nebraska made me laugh. He just catches the ball follows the blockers and turns the corner. At that point the speed burst is Madden like. Holy cow that guy is freaking fast. The fact that he is so short only makes him look so much faster. I am legit stoked to see him on kickoffs now.

Would not surprise me if he made it in the CFL and had some success similar to say, Dominique Dorsey. The UFL would also be a potential landing spot. If Doug Williams sticks with the expansion team in the Norfolk area I wouldn't be surprised to see camp cuts start hitting there when they're part of the league next year.
